Fourth person wanted

Woman, 70, critical after fire

A criminal complaint filed late Wednesday revealed the alleged involvement of a fourth person in a fire that sent a 70-year-old woman to a Lubbock hospital.

According to the complaint, Manuel Ysaguirre Jr., 39, hometown unknown, faces a charge of arson with bodily injury/death for his alleged role in a fire at the home of Bobbie Jean Miller.

Miller was last reported to be in critical condition, family members and police said late Wednesday.

Investigators on Wednesday also obtained arrest warrants for Francisco Ricardo Soria, 17, and Joshua Brian Wyble, 30. Both were arrested after the fire started early Tuesday.

Lt. Gary Trupe, coordinator of the Potter-Randall Special Crimes Unit, said investigators presented a case against the two men to the 47th District Attorney's office Wednesday. Warrants charging them in connection with the blaze were returned by the afternoon.

Soria and Wyble remained in the Potter County Detention Center late Wednesday. Bonds for each were set at $1 million.

Investigators also presented a case against a 16-year-old boy, who was arrested with Soria and Wyble, Trupe said.

Phillip Carter, an assistant Potter County attorney and the county's juvenile division chief, said it would be one to two weeks before his office determines the charges the juvenile could face. Charges against the juvenile could change as the investigation progresses or Miller's condition worsens, Carter said.

Police officers initially responded to a call at 12:30 a.m. Tuesday about three people pointing a gun at a resident's dog. The call directed police to the 2500 block of Orange Street. Three suspects ran and police took two of them into custody a short time later.

While officers searched for the third person, they discovered Miller's home on the 2500 block of Redwood Street was on fire.

Amarillo police officer DeWayne Griffin entered the burning house and pulled Miller out. Griffin was taken to a local hospital for smoke inhalation and was later released.

Investigators have declared the fire an arson, saying an object was thrown at the house that lit it ablaze.

Soria and the juvenile admitted that they, Ysaguirre and Wyble all were involved in causing the fire, according to a criminal complaint.

Physical evidence recovered at the scene, including bottles, cloth strips soaked in "ignitable liquid" and burns on Wyble's hands, corroborated the story told by the juvenile and Soria, the complaint said.
